Trevor,

This port was scheduled for deletion on May 6, and you were informed
by private email.  In spite of this fact and the presence of a PR that
contained the fix, you chose to neglect this port for another 3 months
until the time came for it to be removed, and I stepped in and
committed the fix myself.

I'd like to hear your justification of why you think this is an
appropriate standard of maintainership and why you think you should be
allowed to continue to "maintain" ports in this way.

Kris
